Inter Arma Share Churning New Post-Metal Exploration, “Howling Lands”
Inter Arma are set to perform at Brooklyn’s Saint Vitus Bar next Saturday, April 13th, and I am stoooooked for this one! It’s been a good three of four years since I’ve caught them live, and while they were a hella impressive, tight and powerful act then, they’ve been on such a roll lately I feel as if time will have only improved the band’s stage show. Fórn, whose 2018 album I dug a whole lot, will also be performing, as will Timelost (with whom I’m unfamiliar). On top of that, it’s Saint Vitus’s eighth anniversary bash, so good vibes will be in the air all night long.
Inter Arma just released a new song called “Howling Lands,” and it’ll only further your excitement for their upcoming album, Sulphur English, in case you somehow weren’t already beyond hyped on the first two singles, “Citadel” and “The Atavist’s Meridian.” This one’s a slow churn and it comes with a music video (directed by Marcos Morales) which, like the clip for “The Atavist’s Meridian,” is more of a creepy visualizer than a traditional music video. It adds a distinctly spooky and trippy vibe to the track, so be sure to keep that on while you jam.
Sulphur English comes out April 12th on Relapse; pre-order here. The band will be playing at the Decibel Metal & Beer Fest next weekend in addition to the Vitus show, then will be taking a month off before heading out on tour with Thantifaxath on all dates and KEN Mode and Wayfarer on some. Info on all of that underneath the video.
